I believe that you meant 'incontrovertable'. Anyhow, how can you not know what that means? Your sponge cake-into-a-pot-of-goo machine...

Woolie-ram, anyone that has a fondness for fossils is number one in my book. I've just decided to buy a new digital camera just to get better pictures of my fossils. My neighbors have decided I'm nuts, I'm always picking up my rocks and examining them.wolram said:you forgot some one

Nikkos Tyris I realized about him afterwards.
Tyris This one I just found out about.
Tyriscorp As to them...
I picked the name originaly because it sounded slightly occult, probably thanks to my subconscious thinking of Nikkos.
